PT-6IFA SYSTEM BOARD HARDWARE SETUP
2
There is no jumper needed for DRAM configuration, DRAMs' type and size will be
detected by system BIOS automatically.
In DRAM memory subsystem, ECC and Parity can be checked on the DRAM interface
(Functions selected by BIOS via CMOS setup, please refer to Chapter 5, the defult
status is parity selected.) All SIMMs and DIMM must be populated with parity bit to
implement ECC or Parity functions.
ECC is an optional data integrity feature provided by the system. This feature provides
single-bit error correction, multiple-bit error detection, and detection of all errors
confined to single nibble for DRAM memory subsystem.
The SIMMs' operating voltage are :
SIMM1 - SIMM6 : + 5V DC
The usable DRAM modules are : (Note : S = Single-sided , D = Double-sided)
SIMMs : 1MBx32(36)-S ( 4MB) ,
2MBx32(36)-D ( 8MB) ,
4MBx32(36)-S ( 16MB) ,
8MBx32(36)-D ( 32MB) ,
16MBx32(36)-S ( 64MB) ,
32MBx32(36)-D (128MB) .
The following table is an example for DRAM memory installation, it contains several
modules combination, but not all combination.
